- hellcow 7y agoYikes. I hadn't heard of this either. Reconsidering my email host right now, and that's a shame because I really liked Fastmail.
- digitalni 7y agoThis is the only reason why I did not go with fastmail. I am still looking for an alternative to gmail though...
- 29083011397778 7y agoI've been using posteo.de. I haven't heard anything negative about them, they're not terribly expensive, they support IMAP (unlike protonmail), and support is excellent (had issues syncing contacts to a BBOS10 device they solved immediately)
- Deimorz 7y agoMaking your decision based on that doesn't make sense, because it doesn't affect FastMail at all. They're not an end-to-end encrypted service. They can already access all of your data without a backdoor (and need to be able to, to provide features like search).
